Title: Free time phone weirdness Post by: Ness on 2008 April 06, 10:28:33 Has anyone else got problems with the new phones in free time?
I was able to use one no problems in an already furnished house, but each time I try to buy one, it disappears as soon as I go back to live mode. This happens with both the wall phone and the other phone. The other phones work fine. Title: Re: Free time phone weirdness Post by: J. M.

Title: Re: Free time phone weirdness Post by: lauriej on 2008 April 06, 21:23:52 i read about the same thing over at n99 and then tested my own game and yes the phone dissapperas as soon as i go back to game. i have patched mine so dont know if that is what is causing it or not. i posted at the main site as i didn't see anything about it.
Title: Re: Free time phone weirdness Post by: Ness on 2008 April 06, 22:24:06 It appears to be the CEP.
I decided to test, and ripped out the entire downloads folder - phone still disappears. I uninstalled the CEP, phone stays. Title: Re: Free time phone weirdness Post by: lauriej on 2008 April 06, 23:49:02 do you have the new cep or the old one? i took out the cep and put it back and phones stayed this time with cep installed. i did remove the cep extra folder that came with the latest update it is found in the sims 2 folder so that might have been it
i tested several houses. Title: Re: Free time phone weirdness Post by: Ness on 2008 April 07, 00:28:18 I have the new one.
I suspect it might be tied to the extra phones package, but I got sick of loading and reloading and haven't checked it without that package yet. Title: Re: Free time phone weirdness Post by: lauriej on 2008 April 07, 00:31:35 take out the extra package that is the cause.
Title: Re: Free time phone weirdness Post by: jsalemi on 2008 April 10, 01:06:03 Related question -- does the zCEP-EXTRA folder stay under The Sims 2, or do you have to move the ones you want to the Downloads directory? Numenor's documentation isn't very clear on that.

Numenor's documentation isn't very clear on that. Yes leave that where it installs to. You don't have to move anything to the downloads folder. I have the new one. I suspect it might be tied to the extra phones package, but I got sick of loading and reloading and haven't checked it without that package yet. Take the phone package out of C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\zCEP-EXTRA . That will fix it. Title: Re: Free time phone weirdness Post by: J. M.

Title: Re: Free time phone weirdness Post by: Ness on 2008 April 12, 21:16:29 How can this be called doing a Ness? I had one file, in the right place. The file was borked by the person who made it - not me!
Title: Re: Free time phone weirdness Post by: Inge on 2008 April 12, 21:27:09 Surely, by definition, anything done by a Ness can be called "doing a Ness", even if it's only having someone else's broken file on your disk?
